There was a thought when Barky was first immaculated that he’d be going after everybody’s retirement savings plus a VAT tax because the middle class is where the money is.The people must want it,since a majority of the electorate voted for it. sarc/off

Locally, word is there hasn’t been much progress in the investigation. He was in Burtonsville (the edge, cuz it was the Wendy’s on Briggs Chaney Rd, which is Burtonsville by some definitions, but just barely) before we went to the mall in Columbia, and met up with some guy. Authorities are trying to figure out who that person was. Still no official motive, police described as “Still looking for a connection/ motive” . . .

Mauna Kea – 13,796′ (4,205 m) World’s largest mountain from its base in the sea.

Mauna Loa – 13,678′ (4,169 m) Considered the world’s largest volcano on earth.

Both Mountains receive snowfall yearly. Mauna Kea is an excellent place for skiing and snowboarding when blanketed with a good snow… like right now! However, with an exceptional blanket of snow, Mauna Loa’s slopes are considered to be one of the world’s best ski areas. People from all over the world will come after a good snowfall to ski these mountains. To ski Mauna Loa, one must get there by Helicopter as there is no access road to the summit. You could hike, but that could take days. Mauna Loa offers an excellent hiking experience.

This Hawaiian winter’s recent snowfall, was a heavy snowfall I haven’t seen in years. It’s been awhile since we had a decent blanket of snow.

Thanks for the good info, Knight. I guess Mauna Loa is only slightly lower than the peak of Mauna Kea. The broad, flat appearance is deceptive, making it look much “loa.” 😉 Sorry. 🙂 Just from that hiker’s photos, you can tell that ML is getting a lot of snow. I wish I could ski that mountain. We need our own helicopter, dangit!
